Does Luke Skywalker appear in The Mandalorian and Grogu? One Star Wars fan thinks so.
Way back in 2020's The Mandalorian season 2, Luke Skywalker answered Grogu's call to the Jedi on Tython and arrived in the nick of time to rescue the youngling from Dark Troopers and whisk him off to Jedi school. But, in The Book of Boba Fett, Grogu chose to leave his Jedi training to reunite with Mando – and, since then, we haven't seen Luke Skywalker again.
But, in The Mandalorian and Grogu, one Star Wars fan might have spotted a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo from the last Jedi himself.
In the film's opening credits, we get a good look at Adelphi Base, as the iconic Mandalorian theme tune plays in the background. In one moment, an R2 unit can be seen getting lowered into an X-wing. "Was that R2-D2 on Luke's X-Wing that I saw on The Mandalorian and Grogu" questions the fan.
It's not entirely clear, because the moment goes by fast enough that it's not easy to see the droid. It could just be a droid that bears a strong resemblance to R2-D2 – in fact, we see one of these in the opening credits, too – or it could be the iconic droid himself.
And, honestly, it would make a lot of sense if Luke Skywalker did visit Adelphi Base on occasion. While he's busy attempting to start his new Jedi Order, he'd likely still have strong ties to the New Republic at this point on the Star Wars timeline. Maybe he dropped in to say hi to his former student, Grogu? Who's to say…
